FROSTHAVEN Scenario #1 Play-Through (Blink-Blade & Deathwalker)

[@Sean-li2rv]

Great job with this playthrough. Thank you for the close-up camera shots of the cards and board state. I'll be following the channel for sure!

[@horizononegloomhaven5417]

Hello adventurers. Abby is correct at 15' : chaman is moving towards the city guard because it requires 1 movement instead of 2 (difficult terrain) to go towards the Deathwalker. Monsters are lazy. They always choose to go with the least amount of movement to their focus.

[@Cavo1526]

Could have commented on any of your vids but wanted to say... Excellent playthrough. Fun gameplay, great set up, decent editing, likeable charisma. Hope the channel takes off and we see more.

[@marcup1584]

Thank you for the playthroughs! We just got our copy and we are painting our starting six.. love watching these to get an idea of how each class flows through a scenario. Have fun!

[@wannaplayagame]

You're very welcome!

[@mottly213]

For blink blade, I can’t recommend highly enough the X card experimental adjustment. I’m not sure why this is an X it is a core card for the class. Reusable invisibility is vital for an assassin class in this game. It lets you dive into back lines with a slow move, next turn become invisible quickly, then go slow the next turn after monsters go so you’re invisible for their turn, followed by a fast turn. This will let you do 4 turns in a row without presenting yourself as a target. Also don’t sleep on that damage on adjustment top it adds up.

[@matthewchapman5123]

Y'all are fun. I enjoyed watching the playthrough and looking forward to the next one.

[@lavishcole]

I just got finished watching all the videos and I want more of you two! 😊

[@iamspamus8784]

you guys do a good game of editing. I watched another play through that was an extra hour as they fumbled with moving units around. Good job. It was enjoyable to watch. 18:45 I don't think Blinkblade is about speed, rather it's about time manipulation. 30:00 I think you could have drawn the enemies' cards to see what they are doing before you finish your round. OMG. Those lovely, lovely satchels just left laying around... It hurts my soul. :)

[@TymberJ]

Echoing this, your editing is great -- it adds so much to keep the pace of the video up and you do a great job of explaining the decision making without needing all the time spent thinking/discussing.

[@wannaplayagame]

I agree with you about the Blink-Blade, That’s a better way to put it. And yeah, I realized afterwards that I should have pulled for them during my turn.

[@wannaplayagame]

@@TymberJ Thank you! I have a hard time watching unedited gameplay videos- I will say it takes a good bit of work to do these, but it’s worth it. We do keep some “filler” things just to keep it authentic… our next video even has some moments of “analysis paralysis” - because any experienced GH player will resonate with those moments where you have/make a plan then everything changes. 😅

[@remy333]

Thank you for actually showing many examples of gameplay.

[@dvunkannon]

The pacing of your play is fantastic. You're teaching so much faster than other videos. It isn't just great edits, you're obviously good GH players and you have the trays and other items that facilitate speed of play. Really well done!

[@wannaplayagame]

That’s very kind of you! We really love GH so we made sure we made setup and playing as streamlined as possible to keep pushing forward.

[@LighthouseBurning]

Awesome game gang! Nice editing as well. My buddy and I just started a campaign with this pair. We have the same issue about both of us being squishy. He is switching to drifter. Loved the death walker shadow play. You're entrance into the second room, flooding the entrance with the abyss would have had all these monsters quaking! The visual in my head of that moment was the stuff of nightmares.

[@martyjfox]

Great Video! Thank you so much for posting this. Can't wait to get Frosthaven myself.

[@fongstar]

Great first look at this game. I’m loving the play through - thanks.

[@TheMexicanSuperman1]

Love your guys chemistry! Great video, really like how it is edited too!

[@kevinerskine3299]

Thanks for the video, learned a lot. I was surprised as well that Blink blade wasn't that fast.

[@coyotemoon722]

Those accessories are really nice!

[@PushkarMahashabde]

Great video, and good on you getting one the first few gameplay video out haha. Had not looked at deathwalker cards before, so that was enjoyable. You also caught up some errors quickly! Looking forward to the next one!

[@wannaplayagame]

Much appreciated!

[@justincburns]

Deathwalker is very cool from a theme perspective! Still waiting on my copy to arrive! Please keep these gameplays up!

[@juanv4290]

34:05 in this moment you receive a hit of 6 and I have the impresion that you discard a card to reduce this attack. Is there any rule like this?. Well done guys, superb videos!

[@mikeberrier1139]

In Gloomhaven and Frosthaven, you can always ignore damage done to you buy taking 1 card from your hand or 2 cards from your discard pile and moving them to your lost/burn pile. Losing a card removes it from the game for the rest of the scenario, so it's more extreme than just discarding it.

[@nickgutierrez83]

I like using Hit and Run with the Blinkblade to attack then run away. Useful for resolving the issue you described at the end of the video having to do with standing around and getting hit.

[@dominictheriault8063]

Really great editing !

[@wannaplayagame]

Thank you!!

[@jacobpad]

Great job! These two look like a lot of fun! I'm excited for the next scerario 1 😉

[@wannaplayagame]

Thanks! We’re excited to FINALLY get to Scenario 2… 😣

[@jacobpad]

@@wannaplayagame I hope you share it with us!

[@liquefiedpork]

Really like the Deathwalker mechanic. Probably be 1 of my 2 starting classes. My brother and I play 2 handed so we don't miss out on the unlockables. Great vid.

[@WaxDrag]

Frosthaven has a mechanic for less than 4 players where you get a free inspiration or something every scenario. Then you spend 15 when leveling to get an extra unlock. So you can still unlock stuff with lower player counts. Just in case you wanted to switch back to one handed :) But if you're having fun, eff it!

[@kolgrimur8795]

Are you guys doing more vids soon?

[@gice9993]

Our copy of the game arrived today (European backer), and I loved watching this video while frantically, yet therapeutically, punching out and sorting all the gamepieces!

[@HarryBuddhaPalm]

I had the same reaction playing the Blinkblade as you did. It was really fun to play but there were a lot of times that I spent a token to go "Fast" and my initiative was higher than the Banner Spear or Drifter or some of the monsters. If you have to spend a very limited resource to go fast, you should be the fastest thing on the board. I still had fun with it, though. I like the high movement and the hit and run style plus I was able to run past everyone and grab the treasure chest, which pissed everyone off, so that's a bonus!

[@robinrussell2099]

The blinkblade has four 1 or X cards with possible initiative 19 or under, so thinking about initiatives the card offers in addition to top and bottom and slow and fast when selecting your hand seems pretty important.

[@MattJBarnes]

Are you guys doing any more of this content? It's great.

[@daniellange6884]

27 mins it, yes you can target yourself with that heal. All within one is not the same as allys withing 1. Self is a target within range 1

[@scottheath3572]

Ugh we noticed that about the blinkblade too!! His initiatives just aren’t right for what he’s supposed to be and do

[@DarkMetroid777]

We played the same classes and this scenario earlier this week. It was brutal. Barely won.

[@dmitriigoltcov5798]

In round for you declare that you are going slow, but you pick initiative for the fast movement, is it working like that or you just did a mistake?

[@aalever]

Where did you get those custom player trays and standee bases?

[@bluesteel8473]

Where can I get the stl files for those enemy stands?

[@jonsnow1770]

Doesn't the Blink Blade start with a card that is initial 01 on fast, and another on 12? Also great video!

[@samhooper238]

Will you be playing through a third time with the remaining two starting characters?

[@wannaplayagame]

Yes! Very soon!

[@samhooper238]

@@wannaplayagame Great! I've enjoyed the first two playthroughs, so I'm happy you're going with the third. Also wanted to say well done on your editing and angles! Out of all the playthroughs I've watched on GH/FH content, this is probably the easiest to follow!

[@coyotemoon722]

Please make more videos!!!

[@kyleskinner7855]

Remember difficult terrain cost 2 movement

[@ludwigamadeushaydn706]

Heh those are the same characters we're using

[@bryansanda3724]

What's a scerario?

[@wannaplayagame]

Good catch!

[@edwingardens]

There were multiple mistakes in the first couple of turns. The card he played for the blink blade in turn 1 (cascading reaction) is a burner card. He did not seem to treat it as a burner. In turn 2 you have to declare that you are going to use an item (the poison dagger) before you draw your attack modifier, you can not do so after the modifier is drawn. The monster wants to use the fewest movement points possible when moving, not go the shortest physical distance. If it could get into melee attack range using fewer movement point its will go that way even if an enemy is physically closer or has a lower initiative but takes move movement points to get to. I stopped after watching the second turn so I do not know if they made any mistakes after this point.

[@BrogMan1]

That's actually not true. Cascading Reaction is only a loss on the top action of the card. He used the top action of Kinetic Transfer(slow) for the ranged attack and the bottom action of Cascading Reaction so neither card is lost, they are both discarded and will be picked back up when resting. You are correct about your second statement though, the item should have been announced and the priest should have moved towards the guard instead of the Deathwalker.

[@codingbee13]

What an ass way to act and then still be so wrong in half of your statement boldly criticizing others for misplaying a few rules of a game.
